Liberalism: Why think when you can “feel”?

Dems take exception to Bush’s remarks in Israel

Here are Bush’s words:

“Some seem to believe we should negotiate with terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along,” the President said to the country’s legislative body, “We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: ‘Lord, if only I could have talked to Hitler, all of this might have been avoided.’ We have an obligation to call this what it is –- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history.”

The Dems’ reactions?

In a statement, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., shot across the bow: “It is sad that President Bush would use a speech to the Knesset on the 6Oth anniversary of Israel’s independence to launch a false political attack. It is time to turn the page on eight years of policies that have strengthened Iran and failed to secure America or our ally Israel. Instead of tough talk and no action, we need to do what Kennedy, Nixon and Reagan did and use all elements of American power — including tough, principled, and direct diplomacy – to pressure countries like Iran and Syria. George Bush knows that I have never supported engagement with terrorists, and the President’s extraordinary politicization of foreign policy and the politics of fear do nothing to secure the American people or our stalwart ally Israel.”
…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Cali., did not take kindly to the remarks calling Bush’s statement “beneath the dignity of the office of the president” in her weekly press conference on Capitol Hill.

Pelosi alluded that presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., should distance himself from Bush’s assertions in Israel, repeatedly saying “any sensible person” would.  (Really?  Any “sensible person” would negotiate with terrorists?  Got it.  Thanks for the clarification. – Ed.)

Wow, they sure are getting defensive!  I mean, Bush didn’t mention any names, nor any office names (i.e. he didn’t say “the Senator from IL” or “House Speaker”).  By the way the left is reacting, it’s as if they disagree with Bush and feel that it is indeed responsible to negotiate with terrorists.  Otherwise, why get your burqas in a bunch, liberals?

  2. But, but, you miss the point, Crush; Nasty and B.O. just see the writing on the wall that the entire platform of “If GW Bush is for it, we’re against it, so vote for us” is about to have all 4 wheels pop off at the same time. Personally I just wonder how long it will be before that isn’t a totally compulsive reaction to attributing a position to W?

  3. I guess Ballsack and Nancy forgot the wonderful talks that Chamberlain had with Hitler. Chamberlain even got a pretty piece of paper with Hitlers autograph on it. Cant wait for Balsack or Hillary to get the same thing from Iran, Syria, Bin Laden and the palestinians.

  4. How dare the President criticize bad policy? The nerve of that man! It’s almost as if he was questioning their patriotism! The outrage!

    On a serious note, John Kerry has accused the President of “slander” by this speech. Aren’t false accusations against the law?

    If anyone would know about slander, it’d be John F’ing Kerry. For those of you on the left, that would be his Jenjiss Khan / Winter Soldier slander.

    I wonder if that included Clinton’s tirade about Bush while Clinton was in Europe or Jimmah Carter’s tirade while overseas too? Do as I say not as I do? Yep. KG said it best!

  9. FYI:
    I got a link to a great video talking about dealing with these same terrorists and posted on my site. Worth a viewing to any supporter of the Democrat party leadership. Warning to non-supporters, I wouldn’t be drinking when I watch it.
